Not perl's Curses module?!  *gasps in horror*  :)  So did you defect from
perl officially, or are you just using both as fits the need better?  You
were better than I in perl last I checked.

It -is- amazing how python is spreading--especially Stackless.  I know at
least 2 games written in it:  EVE Online, and I believe Civilization 4.
And somehow they still interface with DirectX as well!  When I heard python
before, I -never- would have thought of games before playing these.

Almost makes me want to at least peek at it, but I have so much invested in
perl already, and I have yet to run into something I couldn't do in it.
And I'm -still- learning it, and will likely be forever.  But I prefer
sticking to one main development language.
